@ReaderScript has been a brilliant support in my process. Like some sort of Therapist, he asks questions that, deep down inside, I already know the answer to. I just have to look. But unlike a Therapist, he also gives advice which I can follow or not.

Script Reports - "The Usual Suspects" - Rules are rules, but above all else:
Clarity is key.

Hey Scott (@GoIntoTheStory) – Following your excellent (as always) advice, I have been reading a number of produced screenplays recently and came across this in both “The Thing” and “Alien” – A character list – I really liked the idea… Thoughts?

[The Script Reader @ReaderScript]

Script Reports - "The Usual Suspects" - If Scene B follows on immediately in time from Scene A, use the "Continuous" suffix. #ScriptReader #ScriptReports #Screenwriting #UsualSuspects

[The Script Reader @ReaderScript]

Script Reports - "The Usual Suspects" - In your first draft, you will almost certainly have too many Characters. Cut them or combine them. #ScriptReader #ScriptReports #Screenwriting #UsualSuspects
